![[PC_IMAGE_CONSTANTINE.png]] - **Race/Class:** Human Fighter - **Age:** Unknown - **Height/Build:** 5'8"; gaunt, with heavy bags under his eyes. - **Origin:** Serves under [[Lord Aeric]], a noble of a cadet branch tied to the [[House Valebright – The Royal Family]]. - **Favorite Food(s):** Owlbear meat, no preference on seared or just.. raw - **Alignment:** Unknown. #### Appearance & Gear - **Hair:** Platinum blonde, though recently fading darker toward dirty blonde - **Eyes/Skin:** Pale skin, heavy shadows under his blue eyes - **Clothing/Armor:** - Green tunic beneath his armor, similar to [[Marcel Voltaire]]'s - Black and gold-trimmed sabatons, gauntlets and pauldrons, issued to him (they're very worn and look old and have evidence of damage) - Cerulean blue cloak that drapes like a scarf around his neck and hangs behind him - **Helm:** Styled golden mask/helmet combination with a chainmail drape going no further than his scarf, which masks a gorget - **Weapons/Items:** - Light crossbow, slung across his back with a leather bandolier for quick access - Bandolier pouch for bolts - Longsword, standard issue, he claims none of his gear belongs to him, only issued by his lord #### Personality & Beliefs - Jittery, nervous, and often mutters to himself - Prone to strange behavior, such as whispering to his helmet - Is afraid of his own shadow maybe? - Devout in an uncertain way, has been heard praying to a god in hopes of turning luck in his favor? Is he also Tymoran? - Sometimes speaks in tongues or multiple languages that neither I or the others can understand - Comes across as a man burdened with something unseen, always carrying a quiet edge of fear - [[Lord Aeric]]: His liege, described as an old, powerful figure. Constantine speaks of him with reverence but little detail - [[Marcel Voltaire]]: Serves a different but connected noble house; their armor both bear the black and gold trim - The Party: - Has saved lives with his crossbow, such as killing a kobold poised to crush [[Marcel Voltaire]] with a boulder - His odd behavior (whispers, strange speech, constant nervousness) makes him something of an enigma #### Notable Incidents - **Kobold Ambush:** Quick crossbow shot killed a kobold about to drop a boulder on Marcel, creating an opening for Dio to negotiate mercy with the survivors. - **Shades:** Recently began speaking of shadows or shades no one else can see. - **Appearance Shift:** Hair darkening, pallor worsening — signs of something changing in or around him. - **Knots:** Famously admitted he “cannot tie knots,” forgetting to secure one during travel. #### UNKNOWNS - What exactly [[Lord Aeric]] represents, and why Constantine reveres him? - Why he favors the crossbow over his sword despite being trained as a guard? - The meaning behind his languages, whispers, and shades — madness, curse, or something divine? - Whether his gear’s true origin (issued, not owned) hides a deeper story about his role? - Just started opening up about some of the people he knows back in [[Lich-Halt]]; who are [[Axel]], [[Wuf]], [[Mr. Clara]], [[Mrs. Clara]] and [[The Castellan]] really to him? What is their status?
